11 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME:

I have read Island of the Blue Dolphins about six times, but I don’t actually remember any of it.1

I didn’t start really reading until one summer when I picked the biggest book I could find2 in the hopes it would take a long time to read it and then mom told me I only had a week.

I didn’t start writing a lot until high school, when I got positive feedback on a short backstory I wrote for my character in a friend’s comic she was making.

I made nine things for my Christmas tins this year.

I am a marathoner when it comes to shows. I said I would watch Supernatural and I think I finished 7 seasons in two weeks.

I have read the books for Game of Thrones and have not seen the series.

I don’t have either cable or Netflix at the moment.

I don’t actually live in Vancouver. It’s just the default location I give because no one outside of the Lower Mainland knows where my city is.

I seriously considered moving to Ontario and starting over not long ago. Unfortunately, I blew all the money I would have used doing it on a trip out to Toronto and found out how damn expensive it is to get across the country.

I have plans for a trip that would take me about a month and a half to complete and about $7,000. I don’t know if I’ll ever take it.3

When I was younger, I wrote a lot of fanfiction. It is still available online because I can’t access the account.4

MY ANSWERS:

What was your favourite toy when you were young?
I had two stuffed animals that I loved. A pink teddy bear and a green bunny rabbit named Pink Bear and Bunny.

Which band or musician would you recommend to the world?2NE1. I’m still on a KPop kick and I love these women.

What is your all-time favourite TV series?Whose Line is it Anyway? I have a deep love of that show and it is great to get me out of a funk.

If you could ban one thing in this world, what would that be?
The question “What are you?” and all derivatives of it in the context of trying to figure out what race or ethnicity someone is, because I really hate it.

You have to stay on an island Survivor-style for a whole month. You’re only allowed to take five things with you. What five things (not people) would you take.
Tough. I think I’ll go with laptop,5 solar powered charger, a tent, a knife, and potatoes. I think I can figure out how to cook a potato on a deserted island.6

Do you think there are aliens ‘out there’?
Statistically speaking, probably. I don’t think they’re super interested in contacting humans, though, in the same way we’re not using a lot of resources to contact them.

Which book do you read when you’re in a ‘there’s nothing to read’ mood?
I usually try to read Sophie’s world again. One day, I will finish that book.

Why did you start blogging?
Originally, to post my stories up online. At least, that was the reason for my first site.

Which of your posts are you most proud of?
I don’t know if it’s on here, but I wrote a post about how writing your first draft is like running away from zombies. Always liked that one.

Do people get your sense of humour?
Not always. My references tend to be a little obscure, and not in the cool way.

If you found Aladdin’s Lamp, what wish would you make?
The final wish is always free the genie. The first would probably be for something lame like financial stability for the rest of my life. The second would be for my own magic powers.
